topvhost is a curses-based display of virtual host activity on a Web server. The display is created by monitoring a collection of server log files to show update time, update count, and selected fields from the last record of each file in a top-like presentation which can be sorted by last update time, update count, or domain name. Log file format and display columns are configured using an extension of the Apache LogFormat syntax. The collection of associations between domain name
and log file is specified either by direct enumeration or a file system glob() pattern in those cases where the domain name is part of the log file path. These details are saved in an INI format configuration file in the user's home directory.

Chroma is an abstract puzzle game in which a variety of colorful shapes are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets.

It features twenty-one levels, ranging from beginner to expert; infinite undo and redo capability, as well as replaying of solutions; a choice of smooth graphics or a minimal, text based version; and a level editor to allow you to design your own puzzles.
